Under The Skin by Michel Faber

I enjoyed this book, even though it is science fiction.  It is very easy to relate to and not as intricately scientific as a lot of sci fi so easier to read as fiction.  The main character, Isserley, is an alien who has been chosen to come to Earth and harvest men for a purpose which only becomes clear towards the end of the novel.  It is a very interesting observation on consumerism, human behaviour and the rules of society.  Isserley is surprisingly well drawn and likeable as a character and the dialogue is very realistic.  I really enjoyed this readable sci fi novel.
